Our correspondent reports that the coalition is composed of Northern Youth Council of Nigeria, Association of Northern Nigerian Students, Arewa Youth Consultative Council, and Arewa Youth for Good Governance.

The coalition, in the statement made available to our correspondent in Owerri, claimed that the former Abia governor had the leadership savvy to succeed incumbent President Buhari.

According to them, “We are under the auspices of the Northern Nigerian Peace Foundation, NNPF, with the sole aim of advancing good governance, national unity, promotion of religious tolerance for the peaceful existence and the overall advancement of socio-economic development of Nigeria. Out of our curiosity and positive thought, it has become absolutely imperative to write and urge former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, to contest the 2023 presidential election as we believe that he has the leadership acumen, capacity, dexterity and contacts to govern a complex nation like Nigeria. We believe that his personality, foresight, leadership style and experience will bring lots of development and prosperity to millions of Nigerians.

“Nigerians must also know that the goodwill, respect, honour and popularity enjoyed by him across the nation is because of his undying influence and love for the unity and development of Nigeria. The best way Dr Orji Uzor Kalu can reciprocate the immense goodwill, respect and honour given to him by Nigerians is to heed to this call to contest the 2023 presidential election. We hope he will make it to the number one position in Nigeria, and chart a new course for our nation through purposeful and selfless leadership.”
